The Plutocratic Banana Republic of Zerentopia is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by King CEO President Johan Liebert with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, anti-smoking policies, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.568 billion Zerentopias are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Central City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Zerentopian economy, worth an astonishing 11,391 trillion Braxes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is a breathtaking 504,746 Braxes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,466,896 per year while the poor average 26,283, a ratio of 131 to 1.

Starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Zerentopia's national animal is the Phoenix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Money.

Zerentopia is ranked 310,221st in the world and 4,716th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring -52 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
